Oakley House Training and Support Centre addresses the need for specialist training in Specific Learning Difficulties (SpLD) and Inclusive Education.
Our aim is to share our in-depth knowledge, expertise and experience by providing a comprehensive programme of accredited courses for teachers, student teachers, teaching assistants, facilitators and other professionals working within the field of SpLD and Inclusive Education.
Are you frustrated that your students are:
unmotivated?
not trying?
unable to read?
not focusing?
We know what it’s like when your student is not making progress and we understand your frustration.
We can help you.
If a child can’t learn the way we teach, maybe we should teach the way they learn. – Ignacio Estrada
